Rockland Home Staging recently staged a property in Rockland County NY that needed quite a bit of renovation. During the course of the staging we ripped up the carpet, refinished the hardwood floors, painted the entire house, replaced all the light fixtures, restructured the furniture arrangement and generally cut the clutter. It was a huge project with a fairly large budget, about $5000. Almost all of the funds went to rehab. When it came time for staging we were on a very tight budget - I tried to use the things the homeowner already had and went for a clean minimalist look.
I think a lot of the time in my area homeowners need to focus their efforts on making the home more current. I would have loved to have another $1000 to add the finishing touches but all in all I'm happy with the results.

The second set of pictures were taken when I completed the staging at 2pm. The sun was bright and it had just snowed so the lighting was terrible. I just wasn't happy with the photos and the agent was planning on using them on MLS. I made a second trip back to the property (30min from my home) to take the third set of photos. I am so glad that I did.
There is just something really special about twilight photos, a mood or ambiance that just sets the home apart. I've learned so much from the gang in the photography group. I'd like to thank Aaron, Bryce, Cheryl and my new mentors; John, Lee, Margaret and Met. If you don't know these cats maybe you should hang out in the Photography Group more often. Everyone is always encouraging and willing to share their expertise.
